Keith Jarrett – Budapest Concert

Description

The second complete show to be issued from Keith Jarretts 2016 European tour following on from the widely-acclaimed concert released as Munich 2016 – this double album documents the pianists solo performance at the Bla Bartk National Concert Hall in Budapest. Jarrett, whose family roots reach back to Hungary, viewed the Budapest concert as akin to homecoming, and the context inspired much creative improvisation. Where Jarretts early solo concerts shaped a large arc of music over the course of an evening, the later concerts have generated suite-like structures, comprised of independent movements, each of them a marvel of spontaneous resourcefulness. Creative energy is applied also to familiar songs given as encores, Its A Lonesome Old Town and Answer Me, transformed in the Budapest concert. ECM Records
